Buy This Nail Polish Before It Sells Out

There’s no greater disappointment than when your favorite nail polish is discontinued, which is why, dear reader, I come to you with a fair warning: Sally Hansen Color Foil nail polishes are friggin’ awesome, and come fall (when metallics are really going to hit big), you likely won’t be able to find them. The limited-edition shades are going to sell out, for sure. Here’s why you should invest in a bottle—or seven—now.

For starters, they’re as slick and shiny as a fresh paint job on a Tesla. They dry in about 5 seconds. And you don’t need a topcoat or basecoat for the mirror-shine effect (in fact, don’t use either; they can cause streaking). A couple notes on application, though: 1) Make sure you give the bottles a good shake before you start—again, to avoid streaks. 2) And don’t start painting until your nails are as clean and dry as humanly possible. Any hint of oil, dust, or cotton-swab leftovers will shine through like a disco ball.

Sally Hansen Color Foil polishes are available through September or until stock runs out. Like I said, run.
